Best Cities For Singles

Last year’s list of the Best Cities For Singles proved one thing: Our readers had strong opinions about the result. This year, we conducted a poll to see how Forbes.com readers felt about various cities. Respondents could give each city a thumbs up, a thumbs down or a shrug. When tabulating the results, thumbs down would weigh heavier than a shrug. We used the data to get our buzz factor: the top third got a thumbs up, the bottom third received a thumbs down, and those in between took the shrugs.
